The Gospel of Thomas, a collection of words of Jesus, is one of the most significant extrabiblical texts of the early Christian era. This 1996 edition presents the tests in the classical languages and provides an English and German translation and notes with cross-references. It includes:

The mistakes in the edition are fixed now. Everything is working well. The notes are very helpful for the understanding of some passages. The full commentary is still missing but I suppose it was never meant to be part of this release.
I raise the rating to Okay now.
